About Us

About Reader Views

Reader Views is an Austin, Texas, based company. We started late December 2005 as a book review service. Shortly after the company's birth we expanded into offering a variety of services for authors.

Our team

Our team consists of management, staff, and volunteer reviewers living throughout the United States and Canada. Each member of the team is unique and they come from all walks of life with a variety of life experiences and interests. Our reviewers are private, independent reviewers, and in no way affiliated with Reader Views other than providing reviews. The reviewers are not paid to provide reviews. (We do pride ourselves that we are able to give our reviewers a stipend as a token of our appreciation for their dedication and longevity; no different than any other business that gives bonuses at the end of the year.)

What we do

Along with reviews of books, we provide services for authors such as book publicity services, editing, author interviews, literary book awards, as well as coaching to write book proposals.
